Topic: [UFO] Improved Geoscape Icons (Read 1844 times)

I made a cosmetic mod that increases the 3x3 globe icons to 7x7 and differentiates crafts and UFOs. Apparently some people think it's worth sharing, so here you go. It's probably helpful if you're using larger Geoscape scales, or if you're color-blind.

Before and After:

Some design choices:- The craft icons are outlines so you can see what's underneath them.- The UFO icons only have different sizes to not give away the exact UFO class.- The flying/crashed/landed states have different details so they're not distinguished by color alone.

You readed my mind! I was about to ask this. I suppose that this can be expanded with additional icons.

Update to the newest nightly for vanilla OXC he added in support for geoscape icon mods, like a month or two ago. I think, but yeah running the latest OXC (2018_11_07) here and its working fine.
